(CNN)In the wake of one of the worst massacres in modern American history, our government's highest leaders will be silent about why things like this keep happening. "Warmest condolences" will be tweeted to families of those who lost their lives, minutes of mourning will pass and murmurs of mental health issues and lone-wolf actors will taper into silence. Taming homegrown terror and tightening gun control will be dismissed as inappropriate or unnecessary politicizing of a tragedy and quickly become secondary to more pressing issues on the administration's agenda. America has been here before.
In fact, America has been here 273 times in 2017 alone, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which compiles deaths and injuries from shooting incidents and defines a mass shooting as any incident where four or more people are wounded or killed. According to their tally, there have also been 11,698 deaths as a result of gun violence so far this year. Between 2001 and 2014, 440,095 deaths by firearms occurred on US soil, while deaths by terrorism during those years numbered 3,412. Today, America faces approximately one mass shooting per day on average.
Mass shootings are a violent epidemic that have been met with fatal passivity for far too long. If mass shootings were perpetrated mostly by brown bodies, this would quickly be reframed and reformed as an immigration issue. If thousands died at the hands of black men, it would be used to excuse police brutality, minimize the Black Lives Matter movement and exacerbate the "raging black man" stereotype. If mass shooters identified as Muslim, it would quickly become terrorism and catalyze defense and security expenditures.
But this is a white man's problem...

I wish these white people would stop causing 99.9999% of the world’s problems.
Now that we've got that out of the way ...
I think he/she is playing fast and loose with the statistics.
"Mass shootings" statistically defined and "mass shootings" as understood by the media or the public are different things.
To get the numbers you include gang shootings, crime, terrorist acts, domestic violence, neighborhood quarrels.
When you want to come to a conclusion, you can exclude what you want and blame it all on one group, like White men.
A couple examples:

Care to hazard a guess about who’s most all of it? Hmm?
One mass shooting per day. Wow!
Since four or more victims constitutes a mass shooting in libspeak, they divide the total number of victims of all multiple shootings by 4 (1,000 victims = 250 mass shootings) and publish it as truth. Pants on fire time.
“...if thousands died at the hands of black men,...”
There are thousands who die at the hands of black men every year, year after year, decade after decade, but if you mention that or even notice that, you’re a racist.
You want to see the rage of men, Naan, then go back to your homeland without a burqa.
Yep, but these advocates of “civil rights” has NO problem blaming “white males” as a group for ANYTHING
It’s amazing it can even write with its collective heads stuck so far up the butts of blacks and Muslims
There. Fixed it for you CNN. You're welcome.
I'm just stupefied over "CNN Math" that goes something like this:
"There is a mass shooting each day, 273 mass shootings so far this year but out of 62 mass shootings over the past 35 years, white men committed 44 of them. Therefore, mass shootings are a white male problem."
I mean, seriously? WTF? They ran with this?
White LIBERAL ELITE MEN are killers. NOT ‘WHITE MEN’. Look at the monster who went after Trump supporters last week... HE’S A WHITE LIBERAL ELITE.
CHECK OUT the killer who targeted Republicans playing baseball... HE WANTED TO KILL ALL OF THEM.
Or the thugs who were paid to ‘rough up’ Trump supporters at Rallies..
Or thugs working for CNN who handed out debate questions to Hillary before debates with the goal of illegally tipping the election.
Or BLM liars who tell us black men are dying in large numbers at the hands of cops when it’s really BLACK MEN KILLING BLACK MEN.
The problem IS NOT ‘WHITE MEN’ IT’S ‘WHITE LIBERAL ELITE MEN’ LIKE THE KIND THAT WORKS FOR CNN...
Actually, it’s us who’ve been silently accepting the rage of black men. We’ve been tolerating people who do NOT believe that blacks are treated better in this country than any other on the planet. People with IQs in the 70s who consistently believe that THEY should be running things.
Well, this NFL stuff has put an end to my pretending. They aren’t pretending anymore so neither am I. Blacks who contribute to Western Civilization by working for what they have and raising their own children are the only ones I care about.
+1
They control everything. the schools, the media, big tech companies.... And, they are the ones that usually go off. Liberals should be banned from society.
Dead bruthas don’t count, they just be trippin’ and shit.

Yeah,FOCNN!,
The skin color thing is so tired. The POS in Vegas has NOTHING remotely similar to 99% of ALL American people.Is it fair to say that millions of people are tired of the sorry a** angry black men who are notorious for killing as well as any POS Neanderthal in turd world Africa. I find it disgraceful nobody pays any mind to black on black crime which basically doesn’t seem to matter.
let’s fix that ‘rage of liberal white men’
“Gun violence is most common in poor urban areas and frequently associated with gang violence, often involving male juveniles or young adult males.[14][15] Although mass shootings have been covered extensively in the media, mass shootings account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths[16] and the frequency of these events steadily declined between 1994 and 2007, rising between 2007 and 2013.[17][18]”
Wikipedia seems to disagree with CNN
Almost that same amount of people shot each weekend in Chicago. No leftist outrage.
